IARU NEWS ---> The Union des Radioamateurs du Congo (URAC) has applied for
admission to the IARU. It represents the Republic of the Congo (capital
Brazzaville, ITU-allocated prefix TN), not to be confused with the
Democratic Republic of the Congo (capital Kinshasa), which is already
represented in the IARU by Association des Radio Amateurs du Congo (ARAC).
URAC was formed on 8 October 2008, and lists 15 members on its current
roster, including three licensed radio amateurs. The closing date for
receipt of votes by the International Secretariat is 11 August.
[http://www.iaru.org/cal188.html]
JAPAN (NEW PRIVILEGES) ---> Effective 29 March at 15 UTC Japanese amateur
radio operators will gain new privileges, including the expansion of the
40m band (7000-7200 kHz) and the possibility of working RTTY and data on
10130-10150 kHz. [TNX JA1HGY]
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Sam, RN6BN is receiving many direct QSL cards
confirming contacts made with V85SS. Sam is not the QSL manager for V85SS,
who wants cards to be mailed to the address mentioned at www.qrz.com
PIRATE (EP2IA) ---> A station signing EP2IA has been QRV this week on 40
metres CW, asking for QSL via qrz.com. "This was my call in the 1970's",
Roger (G3SXW) says, "but I know nothing about the current operation. If the
call-sign had been re-issued I would expect him to give a valid QSL route.
But qrz.com points at G3SXW so I must conclude that this is a pirate
operation".
PIRATE (MU0X) ---> M0X is the contest callsign for Charles, M0OXO. Over the
last few weeks is has been used several times along with the regional
designator for Guernsey. If you have MU0X in your log, please refrain from
requesting a QSL card, as Charles has never operated from Guernsey and you
have worked a pirate. [TNX GU0SUP]
URE 60 ANNIVERSARY CONTEST ---> The IARU society for Spain (Union de
Radioaficionados Espanoles) celebrates its 60th anniversary and sponsors
the URE 60 Anniversary Contest. It will be held on from 00.00 UTC on 11
April until 23.59 UTC on the 12th, on 10, 15, 20, 40, 80 and 160 metres,
Mixed mode. Detailed information can be found at
http://www.ure.es/contest/1232-ure-60-anniversary-contest-.html
VK9LA ---> A logsearch for the current expedition to Lord Howe is now up
and running at http://www.odxg.org/onlinelog/index.php (latest update at 1
UTC on 27 March). The first 400 QSOs on 20 metres were logged on paper
logs, and will be added to the online log as soon as possibile.
VK9LA team members Stan, SQ8X and Peter, SQ9DIE maintain a blog
(http://vk9la.info/) that is worth a visit and a bookmark.
+ SILENT KEYS + David Rankin, 9V1RH (VK3QV) passed away on 19 March. WIA
Federal Vice President for a number of years, he moved to Singapore in 1972
and was a founding member of the Singapore Amateur Radio Transmitting
Society (SARTS). Deeply involved with IARU, he was Region 3 Secretary
(1973-82), Chairman (1982-94) and Director (1994-97).
Other recently reported Silent Keys include Rich Beebe (N0PV), Ivan I.
Dzjuba (UT5UG), Catherine H. Hrischenko (VE3GJH) and Dave Hammond (WC4B).
